We are now counting down the weeks to our Annual Charity Lunch at Rivington Barn and the excitement is building.

This special event has become a much-loved tradition, and we are absolutely delighted that some of the wonderful ladies who first attended the lunch over 30 years ago will be joining us again this year. Their continued support means so much and is a lovely reminder of how this event has grown into such a special afternoon.

Each year the lunch brings together friends old and new for great company, entertainment, shopping and fundraising, all while supporting two very worthwhile local initiatives.

Once again our compère for this years event is David Dockerty.

You’ll know him as one of the familiar voices on 96.5 Bolton FM, bringing great music and proper local chat to the airwaves.

Liverpool born David is also the voice of matchdays at the Crown Oil Arena, home of Rochdale FC, keeping the crowd fired up and the atmosphere electric.

He’s no stranger to stepping into the spotlight either, regularly getting involved in stand-up comedy and live events across the region.

And there’s more…

David will soon be waking up the borough as the host of the brand new Radio Bury Breakfast Show, weekdays 7–9am, on the town’s exciting new radio station launching very soon!

Expect energy. Expect laughs. Expect a brilliant afternoon in very safe hands.

This , we're introducing the three newest contributors to our match funding pot, who will be generously DOUBLING your donations on 1st and 2nd March!

For to have the biggest impact, we've been calling on local businesses and organisations to become 'Matchers', and we've been absolutely overwhelmed at the brilliant response!

Thanks to organisations like Russell & Russell Solicitors, Beldam Crossley and Bolton Irish Community Association, you've got the chance to make DOUBLE THE DIFFERENCE to local families facing life-limiting illnesses 💜

We're now less than £10,000 away from our stretch match pot goal, so with just over a week to go until we're asking you to help Make Every Moment Count, we're asking if any more generous local businesses and organisations would like to join our Matchers?

Email fundraising@boltonhospice.org to find out more and pledge your support 🙏

Last year we decided to visit our chosen Charities before the Lunch so that we could learn a little bit more about them rather than after the lunch.

Before Christmas we met with Angela at the Endeavour headquarters and she gave us a quick insight on the work that the team had been doing. We also met Dave from Urban Outreach at The Octagon for a chat about what they have been working on at Urban Outreach. No spoilers as you will be updated at the lunch.

This year we wanted to raise money to help those who are being exploited or are suffering abuse as these cases seem to be on the uprise. It is reassuring that both these respected Charities have developed programs within the last twelve months aimed at supporting those involved and are actively developing these.

We are looking forward to hearing more about these from Dave and Angela on April 22nd at the lunch.

All monies raised will be split between the two Charities.
